Glad your back its always good to hear from you. Colorado is one of the toughest environments to grow an orchard! I’ve been in that area alot.
Similar to our other nearby states of oklahoma, nebraska, wyoming etc.! Our only saving grace is we are in the NE part of Kansas which is about as good as it gets here. Denver/Aurora are as good as a Colorado high plains dessert gets because of the good water from the mountains. I looked at the snow melt ponds the last time i was up on pikes peak. Golden has wonderful water which is no doubt why Coors brewery chose it! I was shocked how good that water is! The water overall is good and pure in Colorado there is just not enough of it. The nearby state of Missouri has plentiful water and trees! @Olpea, @Derby42, @tonyOmahaz5, @39thparallel, @TurkeyCreekTrees etc. All know what i mean when i say im a little shocked how much rain we have had this year after having went through the worse drought since the dirty thirties in my location last year. Odly much of NE Kansas did not have the shortage of rain we did last year but it was devastating at my location Strange weather will it get our blooms & fruit 2018?
